With a career in music and literature spanning decades, it was difficult to choose our favourites. Here's our top picks:

A novelist, a poet, a singer, a song-writer - Leonard Cohen is nothing less than a Canadian legend and his artistry is wide-reaching. These are our favourites from the late, great Cohen.

"One of my favourites is 'Democracy.' And given what’s happening to our neighbours down south, I find myself listening to it again." says our Executive Food Editor, Jennifer Danter.

"My favourite song is the most cliched choice of them all: Hallelujah. But it's just so beautiful!" says Senoir Editor, Stacy Lee Kong.

Grace Toby, Contributing Editor, says one of her favourite quotes comes from the lyrics in "Anthem." "It's a poignant phrase that is especially illuminating during dark times," she says.
